Tutorial of the Month – June 2010

June 2010 – Apparmor

What a subject.. We’ll step out of the T&T section this month to visit the Security Discussions area.bodhi.zazen spends a lot of time in this section, educating and providing support.apparmor (Application Armor) does what its name suggests, it helps protecting the system if an application gets compromised. apparmor works with specific application profiles that regulate and define the applications access in addition to the usual system permissions (which apparmor can only restrict).

By default, Ubuntu comes with apparmor profiles for CUPS, evince, dhclient3, firefox (which is not enabled) and the guest session.
